A lack of space meant Michael Steel's bed was moved to a stock room and left there for three days at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow. Mr Steel told Today: "I went back into hospital for a liver complaint and after three days ...they woke me up in the middle of the night and moved me to what I thought was another room." "As the day wore on and it got light I realised I was basically in a cupboard." "The nurses explained that they were so short of bed-space that they had put me in there for the time being." First broadcast Today programme 15 January 2015.
